HMA Kits
Meet EOD Gear in Rome — President & CEO Steve Cassidy presents “New COTS™: Custom Off The Shelf™ — Accelerating Innovation from Concept to Capability” at the Explosive Ordnance Seminar Europe 2026, Tuesday 22 September at 10:30, and we are exhibiting all three days, 22–24 September.

EOD Gear has supported Humanitarian Mine Action programs since 2014 — starting with landmine probes, and growing into complete, program-configured HMA kits. These kits equip deminers and clearance teams with the probes, excavation tools, marking systems, and protective equipment their SOPs actually call for — configured to your program, assembled under ISO 9001:2015 quality controls, and supplied worldwide by an ITAR-registered US manufacturer. From a single deminer's set to section-level loadouts across a national program, the kit matches the mission.
HMA Kits: Frequently Asked Questions
What is an HMA kit?
A Humanitarian Mine Action kit: the tools, marking systems, and protective items a deminer or clearance team carries for systematic landmine and ERW clearance — probes, excavators, trowels, shears, marking equipment, and mission-specific additions, organized for the methodical, repetitive work HMA demands. Built around IMAS-aligned practices and the realities of austere, resource-limited field environments.
How do HMA kits differ from standard demining kits?
Configuration. Off-the-shelf demining kits are proven general-purpose sets; HMA kits are configured to a program — your SOPs, your clearance methodology, your soil conditions, your resupply reality. National programs and NGOs rarely work identically, and a kit that mirrors the program's actual drills gets used correctly, maintained correctly, and replaced predictably.
Where did EOD Gear's HMA line come from?
It started with landmine probes in 2014 — machined right, priced for programs, and durable enough for daily prodding in abrasive soils. Programs that bought probes asked for excavation tools, then marking systems, then complete kits. More than a decade later, the line covers the deminer's full loadout, still built on the same principle: equipment that survives the field it works in.
Can NGOs and international programs purchase HMA kits?
Yes — EOD Gear supplies humanitarian organizations, national mine action authorities, and government-funded programs worldwide. As an ITAR-registered US manufacturer, export-controlled items are handled in accordance with US export regulations; use the contact form with your program and destination country and we'll route the requirement compliantly, in writing.
Can kits be customized to our program's SOPs?
That's the point of the category. Send your equipment list, SOP references, or clearance methodology and we configure kits to match — assembled under ISO 9001:2015 custom kitting with the traceability and documentation institutional donors and program audits expect. Standardized across every team, repeatable on every resupply cycle.
How do programs purchase HMA kits?
Submit the requirement through the contact form — every request is answered in writing with formal quotes and documentation for your procurement file. US-funded programs can also purchase via GSA Schedule GS-07F-148GA and purchase orders.
